Est. return is the date the report gives ("out until at least"), a floor rather than a promise: players often return later. 106 of 121 have one. Updated is the date the source last stamped the player, or the date his status last changed. A player marked "likely back" has played an NHL game since his status was set; he is listed last until the report drops him.
